| Summary: | "This book is divided into two parts, Devotion and Reflection. In part one the author invites the reader to dip in and out looking for a favourite prayer, poem or hymn. Some poems, dating back over a thousand years have been newly translated, others have been written especially for this book. There are chapters on Mary's many titles, on the Rosary, on the way Ireland has stayed faithful to this great Marian devotion and helped it spread from the old world to the Americas. Another chapter deals with the many Black Madonnas which have been preserved in Catholic churches and cathedrals." "In part two the author illustrates how Mary is honoured not only among Catholics like St. Francis of Assisi and Cardinal Newman, but among Orthodox Christians of the East. It may surprise many readers that she is revered, too, by great Protestants like Martin Luther, as well as by Muslims, beginning with the Prophet Mohammed."--Jacket |
